Listserv
A listserv is an e-mail distribution list that people can subscribe to. When an e-mail is addressed to a listserv mailing list, it is automatically sent to everyone on the list. We have four listservs for the purpose of facilitating communication among faculty, staff, and students:

students@listserv.ccsu.edu - to send messages to all students subscribed to this listserv.

academicusers@listserv.ccsu.edu - to send messages to all faculty members subscribed to this listserv.

adminusers@listserv.ccsu.edu - to send messages to all administrative staff subscribed to this listserv.

campusforum@listserv.ccsu.edu - to send messages to the above three groups at once.

Broadcast Messages
In order to distribute important University news to the campus community, a broadcast messaging utility is used. This messaging utility is available for use by designated University officials approved by the President. The broadcast messaging utility allows critical University messages to reach all CCSU e-mail accounts with no provision for “opting out.”

Broadcast messages are restricted to the following categories of information deemed important to the unit addressed:

Campus Announcements - notices of importance to members of the University community (e.g., special announcements from the President, weather related cancellations, delays or closings, emergency notifications, information on major campus events, and important bulletins).

CentralPipelinehttp://pipeline.ccsu.edu
The University also uses the Campus Announcements and Personal Announcements channels on CentralPipeline to provide information. These channels are located on the CentralPipeline for Students web page.
